Debbie Dingle finds herself drawn back into the radar of suave young businessman Tom Waterhouse as she struggles with her finances ahead of the house auction in Emmerdale.

When Tom offers her a loan, she is reluctant to get involved with him again but their business dealings quickly turn into lust once more.

Debbie has been looking forward to the move but can’t shake off her money worries and knows that she needs to do something to have any kind of chance of getting the cottage at auction.

When she then happens to bump into Tom’s associate Graham, who invites her to have a meeting with his boss, Debbie isn’t keen but soon finds herself persuaded and gets glammed up.

At the hotel suite, Debbie is determined to keep things strictly business and is frosty as she feels she is being patronised by Tom. Nevertheless, one thing quickly leads to another and they end up in each others’ arms once again.

Afterwards, Tom offers Debbie a loan for the house auction but she is determined that she doesn’t need his help and refuses, despite knowing that he could be the key to her getting the property.

As Sarah outlines her plans and hopes for her new bedroom, Debbie feels under pressure at the auction and tension rises between her and Chrissie White as the bidding commences.

As things get more intense, a mysterious new bidder comes into play and swoops the property from under their noses with a killer bid that dwarves theirs.

But who is she and could she be linked to Tom as a means of showing Debbie how much she needs his assistance? And if so, will she be duped by it?
